I've never been told I sound like anyone in particular either.
It's funny how many others of you have intentionally changed your accent, though, as I did the same. I grew up in Oklahoma, and as a teenager I decided I didn't want to have the accent, especially once I knew I would be leaving to go to New England.
Of course, when I moved to Connecticut, I was met with much dissapointment. People who knew I was coming from Oklahoma were constantly saying "Oh, I expected a cute little southern accent!" Instead I sounded pretty much just like people native to Connecticut.
Now, almost 15 years later, I actually struggle to do the Oklahoma accent when I try, unless I've talked to someone in my family on the phone very recently.
